NORTHERN SIGNS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Shadows stretching eastward
Setting sun in daylight lost
Fall creeps in on chilly fingers
Grasses matted by morning frost.
Trees comply ablaze with color
Flashing signals in Autumn’s roust
To feathered, clothed, or furry creatures
Storing food or flying south.
Grey fog gauzing...

I would drive through...

Homesick Rimas DissolutasHolding tight to this confession;
Love is a poison, maddening;
Soft words ignite like a matchstick,
my cocoon explodes in wildfire;
Exhale now your heart’s expression;
Gravity’s heavy; burdening;
The weight of a smile’s hard to kick;
Sticky situation is dire;
You...

It Happens Over There
It happens over there,
a suburb, a state or half a world
or more away from where I live
in a quiet street with roses and hedges
hanging over front fences
with newly planted trees spaced
along...

I should seen it comin'There is a space still unknown
In the basement of my home
In the dirt there's gotta be treasure
Better go 'splorin' (for good measure)

What I'll find, there's no guarantee

Cemetery
I moved away after high school at the age of 17.
I returned to visit several times and actually, after 7
years, returned with my newly formed family for a 4-year stay.
Moreover, I now feel bad...

Resident Souls
Echoes through the hallway
Of this dilapidated ruin
A stone house made with devoted hands
Ladened once with the life and love of humans
Soft whispers can be heard
An occasional silhouette hazily drifts by
The humans that once lived here

From A Wife's PerspectiveMy frustratingly obstinate hubby
Drives me crazy
Always loudly fixing the unfixable
Without any success.
He kept on tinkering stubbornly
Under the kitchen sink
Despite my fervent plea to...
"Just call the plumber already!"
True to form, he dismissed...

So softly haunting you
The lights still shine though electric doesn’t flow but shine for you the lights still do.
Life plays it’s games on hearts and souls and it’s playing, oh it’s playing a game with you!

The Old Port
I like the old buildings,
the weathered brick,
the worn down doorsteps sanded
by a century of shuffling feet,
the musty smells from
old bond stores and hotel
cellars wafting up through
grates along the street.
I like the defiance
of the old...

Free To RoamWhen devouring a hot chicken pie
An advertised flat caught my eye,
I would hazard a guess
Judging from its address
That the asking price wasn’t too high.
